- Industria collaborates with Rolls-Royce on the deployment of SMRs in Poland.
- Poland plans to produce 50,000 tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen every year.
Rolls-Royce has signed a memorandum of intent with the Polish industrial group, Industria, to collaborate on the deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs) in Poland.
Industria has selected Rolls-Royce SMR technology to fulfil the zero-emission energy goals of the Central Hydrogen Cluster in Poland and as part of their plans to produce 50,000 tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen every year.
Rolls-Royce SMR Chief Executive Officer, Tom Samson, said: “Poland is one of the important industrial markets for our factory-built nuclear power plant, which provides 470MW of clean, affordable electricity from a sustainable source. This partnership has enormous potential and could support thousands of high-skilled, long-term jobs in Poland and the UK directly and in the supply chain.”
President of the Board of Industrial Development Agency JSC, Cezariusz Lesisz, commented: “Building new competencies of Polish industry is part of a trend of focusing on energy transition and strengthening our country’s energy security and resilience.”
